We saw “IBM Father Christmas” yesterday. Yes, that’s his name. He brings presents to all of the boys and girls of IBM parents, then he goes off to help the normal Father Christmas, apparently. He also provides a magic show, disco, face painter and card making station. He’s pretty amazing.
One of my favourite categories to shop for at Christmastime is stocking fillers. I just love all of the little bits and pieces that help put a smile on someone’s face but don’t cost the earth. So, here are some of the lovely items we were sent that we thought were just perfect for this post –…

A tradition that we began when Jensen Indiana turned one was the purchase of a huge number balloon every year for the boys’ birthdays. Proudly on display at the past two parties, they have alerted everyone to their age, and given me a superbly easy way of identifying and distinguishing their birthdays from year to…
